FAQs
Is the 990v3 suitable for long-distance running?
While it features supportive cushioning, the 990v3 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe rather than a technical performance running shoe.
How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush. Do not machine wash, as this will damage the material and structure of the shoe.
Are these true to size?
The 990v3 typically fits true to size, providing a standard fit that is consistent with the rest of the New Balance 990 series.
What does 'ENCAP' mean?
ENCAP is a midsole technology that consists of a soft, EVA-cushioned core surrounded by a tough polyurethane rim for added durability and support.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can absorb water, which may cause staining or texture changes. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in a back-and-forth motion.
Creasing near the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with high-quality suede; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 990v3 lasts, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the navy suede.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
- Stain Treatment: For minor spots, use a suede-specific eraser or cleaning solution. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Compatibility: The neutral navy colorway is highly versatile, pairing effectively with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers, making it an easy addition to most wardrobes.
